DEPOSIT AND PAYMENT POLICY To confirm the booking, a deposit (specified at the time of booking) is required within 3 days of making your booking or your reservation will be cancelled. When more than one cruise is booked, this Payment Policy applies to each cruise fare. Exceptions to this payment policy apply for Viking's World & Grand Cruises which require a 20% deposit of the Full Fare at time of booking the cruise tour. The final balance is due (being the full cost of Your Tour as specified on the invoice provided to you at the time of booking) is due no later than 120 days prior to your cruise/tour departure date (unless otherwise stated or within 3 days of booking if cruise/tour departure date is within 120 days of sailing). All reservations are subject to cancellation without notice if payments are not received by the due date. (See Cancellation Policy below for additional details.) SURCHARGES 1. You acknowledge that, subject to subclause (2), VRC may, but is not required to, vary the Full Fare in order to pass on to you any increased direct costs on goods or services that must be obtained from third party providers such as fuel costs, the exchange rate between the U.S. dollar and other currencies, airfare costs, fees and taxes imposed upon us by governmental or quasi-governmental agencies, or any direct costs associated with a change in the law (Surcharges) in order to reflect price increases from those third parties. 2. Subject to subclauses (3) and (4), within 10 days of VRC becoming aware of a Surcharge which results in an increase to your Full Fare by more than 5%, VRC shall provide you with written notice of the of the Surcharge and the increased Full Fare (Surcharge Notice). 3. VRC may not serve a Surcharge Notice on you any later than the date that is at least 30 days prior to your date of embarkation. 4. If your cruise is booked within 29 days (inclusive) of embarkation, VRC cannot issue a Surcharge Notice. 5. Upon receiving a Surcharge Notice you may cancel your cruise and terminate these Terms by providing VRC with written notice (Surcharge Termination Notice) on or prior to 5pm AEST on the date that is 7 days after service of the Surcharge Notice (Surcharge Termination Notice Period). 6. If you do not serve a Surcharge Termination Notice within the Surcharge Termination Notice Period, you are deemed to have accepted the increase to your Full Fare set out in the Surcharge Notice. 7. In the event you serve a Surcharge Termination Notice in accordance with subclause (5): a. there will be no cancellation fee payable by you; and b. all amounts paid by you pursuant to these Terms shall be refunded except any costs actually incurred by VRC booking or obtaining third party services, including but not limited to air-line tickets and Optional Shore Excursions (Non-Refundable Services). 8. Notwithstanding subclause (7)(b), VRC will make reasonable endeavours to recover from the relevant third party any amounts paid for the Non-Refundable Services and, should VRC recover any such amount, refund that amount to you. 9. For the avoidance of doubt, "reasonable endeavours" under subclause (8) does not extend to VRC paying any amounts or commencing legal proceedings to recover the Non-Refundable Services. PAYMENTS Visa, Mastercard, American Express, cheques made payable to "Viking River Cruises Australia Pty Ltd" and Electronic Funds Transfers are all acceptable forms of payments. Some credit card companies may impose a "Foreign Transaction Fee" even though your transaction is denominated in Australian dollars. This is an arbitrary fee that occurs in a small number of cases and accrues entirely to the credit card-issuing bank. If a Foreign Transaction fee is applied by the issuing bank, Viking will provide reimbursement of such fees to a nominated bank account once a credit card statement is provided for verification. REVISIONS Once a cruise booking has a deposit or air is paid in full, all changes are subject to an AU$50.00 charge per change. See Cancellation Policy below for additional details on situations which are classified as cancellations rather than changes. CANCELLATION POLICY In the event you cancel a cruise or tour booking, cancellation fees will apply as noted below unless otherwise expressly stated in your Passenger Ticket Contract or elsewhere in these Terms, or except as provided by applicable law. Cancellation fees also will apply to changes to departure date; substitutions of itinerary; substitution of another person for original booked passenger(s); and changes to a promotional fare.

You acknowledge that your cancellation will cause VRC and Carrier difficulty in selling a replacement cruise or cruise tour and thus the cancellation fees described herein apply regardless of whether your cruise or cruise tour is resold. You agree that any losses sustained by VRC and/or Carrier in the event of cancellation would be very difficult or impossible to quantify, and the cancellation fees are fair and reasonable as liquidated damages.
